King Midas and His Golden Touch

     King Midas was very rich and kind. When one God named Dionysus heard of his kindness, he offered to grant him a wish. King Midas said he wanted whatever he touched to turn into gold. Dionysus didn't think it was a good idea, but granted the wish anyway. When King Midas ran home to try it, it worked. Now he wanted to show his children of what he can do. Taking his daughter by his hand, he suddenly realized his daughter have been turn into gold! Everything he touched would turn into gold. King Midas grew old and thin, because every time he wanted to pick up his food, it turned into gold! By now, the whole palace was gold! King Midas had regret of what he had wished for. He asked Dionysus to turn everything back. Dionysus took pity on him and finally agreed.
